=Reading=

This week's assignment consists of two short readings. A primer on Fair Use, and a interpretation on Copyright by a major figure Richard M. Stallman


 * 1) Fair Use and Copyleft – “Fair Use FAQ.” and “Copyright FAQ” Handout adapted from TeachingCopyright.org, a project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. http://www.teachingcopyright.org/handout/fair-use-faq http://www.teachingcopyright.org/handout/copyright-faq
 * 2) Stallman, Richard M. “Misinterpreting Copyright–A Series of Errors.” Free Software, Free Society Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman. Ed. Joshua Gay. New York: Free Software Foundation, 2002. 77-86. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/misinterpreting-copyright.html

=Questions=


 * 1) Fair Use/Copyright: Is there a simpler or more clean-cut way to determine if a given use of a copyright material is fair use than the guidelines being used today?
 * 2) Stallman: If “the public deserves to get what it wants,”​ a very democratic approach, then how ought we determine a want of the public (especially in terms of copyright)?

=Very Short Survey= Complete this 1:30 survey that helps Wikipedia secure funding. They sent me a much longer one, but for your sanity I pared it down to:
 * 1) Age
 * 2) Class Level
 * 3) Previous Wikipedia Experience
 * 4) Tech Experience

The survey doesn't like 21-year-olds...
